A Fort Bend County jury on Monday found Daniel Politte guilty of murder in the fatal shooting of his wife at their home in 2014.

The verdict came two and a half years after the death of Stephanie Kirkpatrick Politte.

Missouri City police arrived at the couple's home in March 2014 after Daniel Politte, then 30, dialed 911 to report that his wife was vomiting blood and he was performing CPR.

Upon arrival at the scene on Green Cottage Lane, the officers found 29-year-old Stephanie Kirkpatrick Politte on the floor of the master bedroom, partially clothed and with a gunshot wound to her head. A gun was found near her body. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Politte was arrested on suspicion of murder. He was soon released on bond. A grand jury formally charged Politte in May 2014 with one count of murder. He pleaded not guilty two months later.

Stephanie Kirkpatrick Politte was a special needs teacher in Spring Branch, as well as an active member of the theater community.
